Vigilance

The UDJ Police Log reported that someone was reading bible verses aloud on the courthouse steps but left after being counseled by a police officer who responded to a complaint by an alert citizen.

Thankfully, in spite of the short staffing of our police force, the brave officer arrived before anyone was hurt and before any damage was done. First we've had to put up with the ranting obscenities of the transients, and now this. When will it all end?

Not only was such a display offensive to adults; imagine if these words had reached the impressionable ears of a child?

Let this incident remind us to be vigilant and call 911 when we spot someone desecrating our public buildings by reading scripture out loud. Above all, do not approach such dangerous subjects. Back away and let the police do their job.
